I'm from Pa. the area and especially the river are pretty but all the dismal, cloudy, rainy days would get to me after awhile!

[@zipdedoda6532]

PA is the best.

[@asbrand]

To answer your question at the beginning... That campsite very much reminds me of areas around where I grew up, in the mountains of East Tennessee. You can find a lot of similar looking locations in all of the Great Smoky Mountains.

[@jessyskehan1696]

Water flowing. Birds chirping. Calmness and serenity. My kind of spot!

[@alexcarter8807]

That discover pass sounds like a deal, because you could camp around and then work odd jobs (Labor Ready etc.) or make handicrafts to sell at fairs or well any old thing.

[@wolfpak8228]

Hi Eric and Jax, I'm an older person now, not in great health, but I really enjoy travels with you guys, thanks.

[@uncledoglips]

Eric, I've noticed some high profile U Tube people that I fallow never ,ever mention negative people. Just don't give them any recognition. It's so sad there are so many assholes in this world. Everyone has a choice. Don't pour gas on a fire, piss on it.

[@candysantillo3325]

You find the most beautiful places.I'm old and have never seen such places.i feel very fortunate that you share.Thank you

[@angelambca]

Loved the slow-motion flames at the end. :)

[@stevenmbell]

Eric, I just have to say this is by far one of the coolest places I have ever seen. What a great little piece of the world. Your Trolls even dislike this. Must be fun to hate like they do. Thank you for the great videos and again your insight.

[@tacoma_jon]

That river spot was gorgeous

[@mazzycollins9856]

Really enjoyed this video, Eric. It's got a little of everything I love in RV vids, nice scenery, cool places, beautiful drone footage and even a little troll humor. Keep up the great work, there are many, many of us out here who appreciate your efforts and the inspiration they provide! :)

[@Darryl603]

Awesome! I grew up with the Salmon Falls river right behind my house. I practically lived down by the river. Thanks for sharing. With so much rain, it's really flowing good : )

[@things-n-stuff2108]

The site at the beginning is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.....possibly the prettiest one yet, honestly!!

[@michaelt6173]

Nice! Awesome. This video was over the top. I don't believe I've ever seen fence post totem poles. Good job Eric.

[@josztroutfishingdiary7350]

Beautiful place, no doubt. But everywhere has its own type of beauty, which is why roving in an RV is so great. Great video, as always, Eric.

[@ka9vmp]

You have an amazing knack for finding the coolest places.

[@f.i.g.2637]

I live in Texas and that is very beautiful (in the first three min)

[@tundrawomansays5067]

Thanks, Eric. Long time follower, rare commenter. Your videos are excellent and it's obvious you put a lot of thought and work into them. The more subscribers you have, the more successful you've become and as a result, the more detractors you'll have. So all aboard the train to troll fuckitville because there's just too many of us who enjoy and appreciate all your work. It's been great to follow your progress as you've becomes increasingly successful. Many thanks and best wishes from the very cold, very remote reaches of the planet.

[@legaleagleandpaws8198]

Glad to hear at the end of your video you are going South. Remember that "home" is where the heart is as opposed to a physical location:) The good part about RVing is you get to take your physical "home" with you wherever you go! Sunny days are ahead Eric:)

[@0HARE]

This was fun, interesting, and at times quite beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to show us all these cool places. Happy Trails

[@quidestveritas8713]

I like the quirky stuff, and the pull-off by the lake was gorgeous. Thanks for sharing! ❤️

[@wmfrow]

Really enjoyed that. the rock house and carving very cool, would have never been able to see that. Thank you

[@hoyle7780]

I like the 20 min vids dude. I'm sure it's more work but I appreciate it.

[@grannyonthegogo9658]

It is absolutely gorgeous! I can not wait to start my journey!!!!

[@candysantillo3325]

I could tell something was wrong.and that it was something hurtful but didn't feel it was right to ask.But then you mentioned it, That is such a astoundingly fabulous area Who'd ever want to leave there?

[@Chewy-Da-Redneck]

Eric, I've followed your travels for awhile now and enjoy the videos. Its cool to be able to "see" places that one might not ever get the chance to go visit. Also, the drone shots have always been a cool 2nd view of some already cool shots! Thanks for the "Travels"...

[@thaitravels5871]

Great video, that Lyre campground looks like heaven on earth to me...I would have a hard time leaving it. Love all the cute spots you stopped at during the day, looking forward to traveling along 101 with you :)

[@bonnbun6623]

absolutly love all the moss on the trees, what a beautiful spot

[@billh.3522]

I'm from Florida and that is a beautiful campsite on the Lyre River. Your camera has nice clarity for sure.

[@evap1440]

north Carolina mountains looks about the same with rivers and waterfalls. can't wait to go out west

[@bigtrouble72]

I love that Lyre campground. My in laws lived up in Everett and drove us out to the La Push area so I could see the Pacific ocean. We stopped off at, to my opinion, the most beautiful area I have ever seen, Lake Crescent. I love it here, I live on an island in Florida, but the Pacific Northwest has its own beauty that is undeniable!

[@JohnMason-Hill]

I agree with you. It's an amazing place. You are a lucky man!!!

[@adventureswithgnomie6553]

beautiful spots - you can't choose the family you are related too but you can create a family. Hang in there Eric & extra ear scratches for Jax.

[@waynert69]

Wonderful video. Love the rainforest. That is about as different as you can get from the east coast of Florida.

[@sheilahag]

I LOVE the Pacific Northwest!!! I lived in Auburn, Wa for 15 years (before there was a Mall there). Makes me want to come up & visit! I live in Oregon now. Great video! Thanks a lot Eric!!!

[@cashk100]

Hi Eric, love your channel.

[@MSNJ10]

Eric great video as always. You never know what to expect from one video to the other. I have always wanted to get an RV and just travel wherever the road goes. I know what it's like with family. Sometimes it's better to distance yourself a little. Good luck kisses to Jax.

[@stevedahl3689]

Eric, your videos, by far, are the best of any of the full-timers that I follow. I appreciate the time you spend to plan the experience for us. Lots of pre-planning and editing to produce exactly what you want us to see. I look forward to each one. Regarding the drama - turn away and go live your life. Don't look back....

[@steveedward2642]

Got to say Eric.....I'm addicted. I will be on the road soon as well. My wife and I will be travel nursing. Maybe we will see you out there one day.

[@peterstean2138]

What a lovely spot - it was clearly worth waiting for

[@twatson8812]

Congratulations Eric look at your subscription numbers, less than 2000 til 100 thousand go Jax and Eric. you are the heavy hitter.

[@pierrewoody9796]

Gosh Eric, Thank You very much, you force me stop and take a break from a very fast paced life, I love those DIY videos and discovering America, Thank You

[@tammiepulley1396]

Hi Eric and Jax...thanks for the video down by the river playing the guitar. That was a fun song you made up. You talked about being a youtuber, dealing with the "haters" etc. You are an introvert but you can easily talk to the camera. Please know that you inspire me and others. Rock On!

[@pam132cross]

nice video eric,,I love the lyre river campground,,my type of place..I could just sit with the river in the back ground and listen to the birds..

[@lizzy2shoes557]

OMGOSH! YOU MADE MY DAY! This is exactly why I think WASHINGTON is INCREDIBLE! Thank you multiplied, Eric, for an absolutely amazing video!!

[@vanessaboman8143]

Eric.... your last comment about all the drama and back stabbing... just post it all back and don't worry about the drama... and pull that knife out of your back and drive away free and enjoy your life... and take us to new adventures with you and Jax... love watching your vids...

[@klouism1]

What a great video. Thank you. Really some unique spots you shared. Keep having fun.

[@Jamminalong]

Hey!! Can't wait to get back over there with the new RV. Travel will be so much easier. Cheers Eric!!

[@martutapoles6516]

this is so beautiful place . love it .it remind me of the sound of river in puerto rico when i was a kids . great place.

[@Tatiacha]

Western WA is unique, no place like it, even western Oregon is very different and the cascades in Oregon are different too. We have port orford cedar down here on the OR coast but they don't get big like the western red cedar. Then there is "the mountain" that damn mountain still shows up in my dreams and I haven't seen it in 16 years. Two seasons, magical and raining, either one can happen in any of the normal seasons.

[@stephenhansen6603]

You're asking whether this is an appealing campsite all I can say is wow!

[@moonlitedaze5688]

Nice new harness there Jax-man! Beautiful scenery there in Washington!!! Thanks Eric....cool video.

[@kegsie100]

I'd love to see you travel north into BC and east through the Canadian Rockies....such glorious beauty.

[@wisdomoffered1903]

Thank you Eric, this is so beautiful there! and i love the sound of moving water, ive cd's of it from babbling brooks, to sea shores from around the world, and theyre ALL different, its brilliant to go to sleep with. also i just love a rainy day, and to lie in bed warm and cosy reading a book, or listing to an audio book and hear the rain pattering on my windows, or thunder and lightening, and get caught up in the drama of it, its such a lovely sound, its the fountain of life, whats not to like

[@Quaevil1]

lovely place ! lol on the trolls !

[@lucskywalker8441]

i love green forest and rain and rivers/waterfalls aka the pacific northwest

[@Hatch61]

Ah, the first fire, thanks for sharing Eric, and bringing us along on your adventure.

[@coreyrimed2635]

great places you showed as a mississippian I enjoy seeing good places so far away and so different from our local stuff

[@Prismelia]

Love this video...Thanks

[@texrose75]

Such a beautiful spot!!

[@SandraLC7]

Great video. Love seeing all the quirky stuff - like the carved fence posts. And glad to see that Jax figured out how to get up to the front and over the couch. :-) Can't wait to see where you're off to next.

[@saltnlightful]

Love the video. Thanks for sharing such beautiful places with us. Does Jax miss his seat beside you?

[@brendasnyder9908]

It looks very peaceful.

[@bobbiestafford1088]

Great video, Eric! You do such a good job of showing the countryside and its beauty that I just can't understand why anyone would not like seeing it all. And I know that it takes a lot of work. Thank you for taking us along on ur journey.

[@jerrypelletier2328]

Huge party here in Connecticut when you hit the 100,000 subscriber number....Happy travels and stay healthy

[@kevinbrun8014]

Great video Eric!

[@PrepperFam6408]

I'm in Central Florida. You asked what others think about a place like Lyre River. I think it's awesome! No moss hanging off the trees, deep and lushious greens, not a single palmetto in sight and I bet there aren't any gators either - what more could one ask for? Hoping to make it up there one of these days.

[@theresawebster1027]

The PNW is definitely beautiful! Thanks for sharing this beautiful location! If you ever get a chance check out Nestucca River! I think you would enjoy it! It's in the coast range, east of Pacific City, OR.

[@chriskozak4966]

Hi Eric & Jax, what an awesome video! Thanks for sharing the beautiful places. I will check them out soon. Ignore the toxic people, move on & keep up the good work. You are so likable & successful. Good job 👏 my friend.😎

[@cathywright6665]

Hi, Eric. Another great video! I really would like to see you work out your issues with KZbin. It doesn't seem fair that you put out such great content, making KZbin look really good, and as much as I appreciate there not being commercials, you deserve to be making a few bucks from KZbin. Really enjoyed this video, thanks!

[@theShamrockShepherdWagon]

Fun video Eric. Good job.

[@sallyvella6614]

Those are shelf mushrooms. They're also called, "conks" or "bracts."

[@HulaShack1]

Great camping site. So pretty. Eric you are almost at 100,000 subs! That will make the trolls heads explode for sure! LOL We are proud of you!

[@GatorLife57]

Hang in there Eric. It's sad to say but sometimes family and friends get jealous because they are not living the free life you are. Thumbs up.... ENJOY... THE SIMPLE LIFE

[@pearsonhodgson3869]

Fat Smitty's is similar to The No Name Pub down in the Florida Keys with regards to dollars covering the walls and ceiling. Enjoy!

[@saxonwench1]

love to you and Jax!

[@kyoken2]

I must say I really look forward to your videos each time you post one I feel lie I'm opening a great gift. Thanks for the entertaining videos. I hope you continue to do more and your channel gets more subscribers.

[@ceciliapetrowsky2572]

I really enjoyed seeing all the cool art!. That dragon gate was amazing. Thanks for showing us.

[@jennyhackenberg2078]

I am from PA and I love the lyre River. I could see myself spending several days there. I love to just go down a road and see where it takes me. I loved the trolls and the stone cottages. really imagative stuff. as always be safe and enjoy life and give Jax a scratch for me

[@CDubsJourney]

Awesome video Eric! The place next to the river was beautiful! The giant shot of Jax... Priceless! Safe travels.

[@Angel-yl1ck]

that was a great day of sightseeing for this fan. I used to live at the ocean, you can't turn off that sound either. lol That castle and all along that road to it was fascinating. Thanks for the GPS, someday i'll find it.

[@margaretmodrovsky1350]

Another loved video. Only one thing...I was waiting to see the fire in the dark . Loved the river . ..I could easily go to sleep to that sound .

[@judithneeley5229]

Nothing like family/friends drama to heal homesickness! I think you went to WA much too soon. Wish you'd go over the Cascades via the North Cascade Highway east of Mt. Vernon. The Skagit River Valley is full of eagles, and you go over two mountain passes that are incredibly beautiful. You'd enjoy Winthrop, too. If you drop down to Chelan, I've got a friend with an apple orchard where you could boon dock. Take the Lady of the Lake boat up to Stehekin, Then you can head south via Ellensburg, Yakima, and into Eastern Oregon. Just a thought.

[@Flipperwi715]

They really really do look like your KZbin Trolls. 100% accurate.

[@janetfryeaifd1011]

I'm from Asheville, NC. That camp spot could be here in our glorious Smokies. And DUDE, the river isn't noisy.... it's a peaceful nature sound. Bet you slept like a baby being that close. Great spot, love it.

[@jacklalanne91]

The guy at Diamond Point/Gardiner who has the castle and the fence with the carvings made his fortune inventing the door hinges for the Space Shuttle. Imagine that~*

[@lonogonzo4118]

All those carvings are for the spirits in the area. Lots of ghosts in the Pacific northwest.Got to keep them happy and at bay.

[@LostOnLandAgain]

I really enjoyed this video. I love seeing that part of the country thru your videos. I've never made it up that far. Definitely on my bucket list. Can't wait to see where the road takes you next!

[@Brookside975]

Another excellent video, Eric. Love the quirky roadside attractions.

[@witchyvicar]

Wow! Lyre River campsite is gorgeous! What a beautiful site!

[@KauaiMike1000]

Thanks for sharing the unusual, off-the-path spots. Very enjoyable.

[@barbaraaspengen9810]

It's so AWESOME&BEAUTIFUL love this place. Thanks for SHARING YOUR beautiful video.

[@VictoriaRich79]

Watching your videos of you in Washington makes me want to go back so bad! You are so right there is no other place like it in the world! We moved up there from Louisiana back in February of last year but was only able to stay until July due to my father's cancer becoming terminal. So we moved back down here. My husband and kids and I miss it so much and wish we could move back one day.

[@sueg2658]

I really enjoyed the video and traveling down 101. Jax laying on the back of the couch LOL perfect place. Trolls kiss your butt lol loved it! No one should put with backstabbers, I'm sorry there is nasty drama at home Eric, that stinks ☹️ Safe fun travels ❤

[@derekloveschikako]

My wife and I had a good laugh and really enjoyed this episode !!

[@GeneGladden]

Great campsite. Our favorite campsite that looks similar to this one is on loop C at Ohanapecosh WA. We stay every August.

[@dandydan2037]

If I could loop the slow motion flame shot I would, that's very artistic. Thanks for another great entertaining video Eric.

[@ziggyzig73]

The "Singing Waters" campground looked absolutely amazing!!! I would so love to travel to America and spend time in the north west!

[@23Michael23]

the Last few videos have been great keep making them like this.

[@TheBighappy4u]

You ever see me in my Cadillac pulling trailer that’s me and my English bulldog frank and it’s you Nomadic Fanatic who made me brave enough to do it! Hope to see you out here! Time to start living! God bless!
